The top right side panel came off when traveling northbound on rte 42 at about 50 mph. I stopped the vehicle at a safe place and retrieved the panel but it could not be replaced. This exposed the battery and other electrical/electronic components to the weather, making the vehicle inoperable under normal conditions. If this situation occurred when I was riding with agroup of riders, it could have gone under the wheel(s) of anothe rbike and caused it to crash injuring the rider upto and including death.
I have a second issue on my c650gt for the tech to resolve. It may be connected to the first issue that I emailed you about earlier. I was traveling at 40 to 45mph, throttle was steady, all of a sudden the engine throtttle down to idle and the bike lost momentum. I twisted the throttle even more to increase speed with no success. Within 2-3 seconds the engine returned to proper rpm's and error lights up on the instrument cluster and remained on until I pulled over and shut off the ignition. I restarted the bike and the asc light cleared. Because this issue occurred while traveling on a busy stretch of road and could have resulted in an accident I will follow up with the nhtsa and BMW of north america, llc for further investigation.
